When to acknowledge ATC by Andrew
ATC says "radar contact, 20 miles south of XYZ, proceed on course". Do you acknowledge this transmission? How about when ATC says "altimeter setting 2992" on your first contact after a handoff? Does this require acknowledgement? In the past, I've acknowledged such things if the controller was...

Rep vs. Dem Differences by Jim Weir
In an on-the-air (*) broadcast, a BBC announcer was trying to explain the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats to his British audience. "The Republicans are verry like our ... ahhh ... Conservatives. The Democrats are verry like our ... ahhh ... Conservatives." (*) "on-the-AIR"...

Turbine Duke or turbine Baron? by [email protected]
I got an email response from the guys at Rocket Engineering about their PT6A conversion of a P-Baron. He mentioned they're finishing STC work for their turbine Duke conversion and I wondered which airplane might make the better platform for conversion. Their preliminary numbers for the -21 engined...

drug/alcohol testing policy: effective? by gatt
Casual debate he Something like .1% of the pilots randomly tested for alcohol and drugs (one was .5%, I believe) tested positive in 2004. That's one in a thousand. As a result of this percentage, the random test rate will stay at 25% for drugs and something similar for alcohol. Meanwhile,...

Absolute lowest altitude you can fly (legally) by Mxsmanic
What regulations determine the absolute lowest altitude you can fly above the ground in the U.S.? I understand that the area just above the ground is usually Class G outside airports, and it only goes up to 700 or 1200 feet most of the time ... which implies that you can actually fly at 500 feet...

Pilot deviations and a new FAA reality by Chip Jones
OK pilots, try this one on for size. As you likely know, there is a wide and growing rift between the career FAA bureaucrats (aka FAA Management) who run the monstrosity called the federal Air Traffic Organization, and the career FAA air traffic controllers who make that monstrosity work in the...

Stop whining, America! by Jay Honeck
Everywhere, every day on the radio, television, and in the newspapers, all I hear is how the "Record Price of Oil" is killing America. Yet, strangely, Americans keep driving *more*. And I don't see anyone flying less. How can this be? Here are some encouraging stats from the current issue of...

About those anti-aviatoin newsgroups by C J Campbell
We should be cautious about posting anything on these news groups. There is no way of convincing the mentally ill that airplanes are not a threat to them, so arguing with them is futile. At worst, somebody in these groups could find out about the rec.aviation news groups. This is a serious...

Turn to Final - Keeping Ball Centered by skym
While making a turn to base and final recently, I was aware that I was going to be wide with my normal turn from downwind through base to final, so I banked more to keep as close to the runway centerline as possible. I kept thinking about the infamous and usually fatal stall/ spin by some pilots...

Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution by AJ
I took my daughter to Linden Airport (that's in New Jersey). We stood with a small crowd at the fence on the shopping mall side as planes took off and landed. (This is where I got my interest in flying many years ago.) Presently a mall security truck drove up and the guard told us to disperse...

Typical power settings during cruise and other phases of flight by Mxsmanic
Is it normal to have throttles set to the maximum during cruise, in small aircraft? I always set them all the way forward because that seems to get the best speed, and the engine parameters still stay in the green areas, but I don't know if this is actually a good idea. Obviously it would be a bad...

The new Fork Tailed Doctor Killer by Denny

No more "Left Downwind"? by Jay Honeck
We attended a safety seminar on Tuesday during which the FAA presenter (who was otherwise outstanding) went over a list of unapproved radio calls. (Number one being, of course, the despised and now-specifically prohibited "Any other traffic please advise...") To our surprise, he claimed that the...
